Request for Debian/s390x image in cloud
Hello,
There is already a supported Debian/s390x port. Would it be possible to allow use of such an image in container? Alternatively, is it possible to use an Ubuntu container? I could then try to migrate to Debian changing the apt sources. Currently I only see the RHEL and SLES images available for selection.
Thanks

Hello,
You can use command "docker pull s390x/ubuntu" to get a Ubuntu docker image. You also can build your own images base on that. Hope it's helpful.
Hello, You mean from inside one of the RHEL/SLES instances? I was hoping for a pure Ubuntu/Debian VM.
We don't have the self-service Ubuntu VM on the community cloud yet. It's coming soon. Stay tuned.
Alternatively, you can try the Ubuntu beta on the Community Cloud at this moment. https://developer.ibm.com/linuxone/registration-ubuntu/
ok, thanks, I'll see what I can do, are these VMs on z13/z14 hardware?
Is there a console mode for a VM? in case something breaks on boot for example? I've managed to create a Debian VM (replaced the Suse distro) but while it seems to be running I cannot ssh to it (I made sure I keep the same network config).
Thanks
